Definitions
- the present invention relates to a concentration regulating method and a concentration regulating apparatus for carrying out the concentration regulation of a mixed gas by gas separation, and particularly to a useful technique of decreasing the concentration of a hardly permeable gas as in such a case that the concentration of a mixed gas consisting of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas is regulated to produce a feed material for ammonia synthesis.
- a technique of carrying out the purification of a mixed gas by utilization of a gas separation membrane has been hitherto known, and the mechanism and principle thereof are as follows.
- a gas separation membrane made of a material different in permeability to the respective components of a mixed gas as a feed material is used, namely, the mixed gas fed as it is pressurized is separated to a permeate gas which is permeated through the same gas separation membrane and a retentate gas which is retained on the feed side.
- a difference (a difference in partial pressure) between one (a gas partial pressure) obtained by multiplying the whole pressure of the feed side (the high pressure side) by the mole fraction of each gas component and the other (a gas partial pressure) obtained by multiplying the whole pressure of the permeation side (the low pressure side) by the mole fraction of the same gas component becomes a motive power of permeation, and the permeation of each gas component is caused at a ratio obtained by multiplying this difference in partial pressure by a permeability and a membrane area.
- the gas separation accordingly, an easily permeable gas higher in permeability and a hardly permeable gas lower in permeability are separated as they are concentrated on the permeation side and on the feed side (the retentate gas side), respectively.
- the concentration of a hardly permeable gas can be decreased, for instance, by leading out a part of a mixed gas as a feed material and separating it to a permeate gas and a retentate gas by a gas separation membrane, and then introducing the permeate gas, in which an easily permeable gas has been concentrated, into the mixed gas again.
- the concentration of an easily permeable gas in a retentate gas is lower and the higher the recovery of the easily permeable gas is, the higher the efficiency of gas separation is, and this becomes an important factor in a case where a compensation to the loss of the easily permeable gas is higher.
- the concentration of the easily permeable gas in a permeate gas is extremely lower, although it is not so important, on the other hand, the hardly permeable gas become apt to be entrained in the permeate gas and this is disadvantageous because a power for the gas separation therefore increases.
- a mixed gas as a feed material is produced by another process, and it has, for example, a whole pressure of about 25 bar (absolute pressure, this unit will apply to the following), in which the mole ratio of nitrogen gas exceeds a mole ratio (1/3) suitable for ammonia synthesis, and hence the concentration of nitrogen gas must be decreased. Since it is required in an ammonia synthesis process that the feed pressure of a mixed gas is generally 60 ⁇ 200 bar, on the other hand, the pressure thereof is raised to the same pressure in turn by a first booster C11 and a second booster C12. In this example, the pressure raising is performed to 50 bar in the first stage and to 100 bar in the second stage.
- the permeate gas is introduced into the inlet side line of the first booster C11 so as to be joined with the feed material mixed gas.
- the retentate gas in which hardly permeable nitrogen gas has been concentrated, is discharged out of the system and removed from the mixed gas, and hence the concentration of the hardly permeable gas in the mixed gas can be decreased.
- a mixed gas having a desired mole ratio can be obtained.
- the mixed gas concentration regulating method comprises feeding a mixed gas consisting of two or more gases different in permeability to a gas separation membrane to a line having a booster so that the pressure thereof is raised, leading out a part of the mixed gas from said pressure raising line and separating it to a permeate gas and a retentate gas by a gas separation membrane, and then introducing said permeate gas into said pressure raising line, thereby regulating the concentration of the mixed gas, and is characterized in that the gas led out of said pressure raising line is separated to a first permeate gas and a first retentate gas by a first gas separation membrane, and then the first retentate gas is separated to a second permeate gas and a second retentate gas by a second gas separation membrane, and said first permeate gas and said second permeate gas are introduced into the pressure raising line separately or after they are joined, and the pressure ratio (the feed side/the perme
- said gas separation membrane is composed of three or more stages, where a retentate gas of the preceding stage is separated in turn by a gas separation membrane of the succeeding stage, and permeate gases in the respective stages are introduced into said pressure raising line separately or after they are joined, and that the pressure ratio (the feed side/the permeation side) on the feed side and permeation side is made larger as in the gas separation membrane of the latter stage side (the invention described in claim 2).
- stage number in the present invention is indicative of the number of connection units in a case where units (gas separation sections or gas separation membranes) for performing the gas separation, are connected in series, and each of the units may be a group of gas separation sections or membranes, in which the gas separation sections or membranes are connected in parallel.
- the mixed gas concentration regulating method comprises raising the pressure of a mixed gas consisting of two or more gases different in permeability to a gas separation membrane in turn by a first booster and a second booster, separating a gas partially led out of the outlet side line of said second booster to a first permeate gas and a first retentate gas by a first gas separation membrane, and then separating said first retentate gas to a second permeate gas and a second retentate gas by a second gas separation membrane, and introducing said first permeate gas into the inlet side line of said second booster and introducing said second permeate gas into the inlet side line of said first booster, and in which the pressure ratio (the feed side/the permeation side) on the feed side and permeation side in the second gas separation membrane is preferably made larger than the pressure ratio (the feed side/the permeation side) on the feed side and permeation side in the first gas separation membrane (the invention described in claim 3).
- the mixed gas as a feed material consists of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas, where the mole ratio thereof (nitrogen gas/hydrogen gas) preferably exceeds 1/3 (the invention described in claim 4).
- the mixed gas concentration regulating apparatus comprises a pressure raising line having a booster for raising the pressure of a mixed gas consisting of two or more gases different in permeability to a gas separation membrane, a line for leading out a part of the mixed gas from said pressure raising line, a gas separation section for separating the gas fed from said line to a permeate gas and a retentate gas by a gas separation membrane, and a line for introducing said permeate gas into said pressure raising line, and is characterized in that said gas separation section is composed of plural stages, where respective stages are connected with each other by a line for feeding a retentate gas of the preceding stage to a gas separation membrane of the succeeding stage and a line is provided for introducing permeate gases of the respective stages into said pressure raising line separately or after they are joined, and another booster is provided or the pressure difference of said pressure raising line is utilized so that the pressure ratio (the feed side/the permeation side) on the feed side and permeation side is made larger as
- the mixed gas concentration regulating apparatus preferably comprises a first booster and a second booster for raising the pressure of a mixed gas consisting of two or more gases different in permeability to a gas separation membrane in turn, a line for leading out a part of the mixed gas from the outlet side line of said second booster, a first gas separation section for separating the gas fed from said line to a first permeate gas and a second retentate gas by a first gas separation membrane, a line for feeding said first retentate gas to a second gas separation section, a second gas separation section for separating the gas fed from said line to a second permeate gas and a second retentate gas by a second gas separation membrane, a line for introducing said first permeate gas into the inlet side line of said second booster, and a line for introducing said second permeate gas to the inlet side line of said first booster (the invention described in claim 6).
- a gas separation section is composed, in any case, of plural stages (in series) and the pressure ratio (the feed side/the permeation side) on the feed side and permeation side is made lager as in the gas separation section of the latter stage side, and hence the power expense can be more restrained as the recovery of an easily permeable gas is maintained. Namely, since the concentration of an easily permeable gas is higher as in the gas separation section of the former stage side, a large amount of the easily permeable gas can be recovered with a small pressure drop even at a relatively small pressure ratio and the power expense of the former stage side can be restrained.
- two boosters for raising the pressure of a mixed gas as a feed material are used to give the pressure ratio, as mentioned above, and hence there is no need of providing another booster and the equipment expense can be more decreased.
- a mixed gas as a feed material consists of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas, and hence its separation carried out by a gas separation membrane becomes easy. Furthermore, hardly permeable nitrogen gas can be removed from a mixed gas, in which the mole ratio of nitrogen gas/hydrogen gas thereof exceeds 1/3, and at the same time the pressure raising of the mixed gas can be carried out, and hence a mixed gas suitable as a feed material for ammonia synthesis can be properly produced.
- This embodiment is an example of carrying out, by use of such an apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the concentration regulation of a mixed gas consisting of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas as main components, which is a feed material, so that the concentration of nitrogen gas is lowered, where it is intended to make compatible the maintenance of the recovery of hydrogen gas and the restraint of the power expense, with restraining the equipment expense of boosters due to the use of a booster for double purpose.
- a mixed gas as a feed material is one produced in another step, and it is, for example, one having a whole pressure of about 25 bar, in which the mole ratio of nitrogen gas exceeds 1/3.
- a product gas has a pressure meeting with an ammonia synthesis process.
- a mixed gas of about 25 bar is therefore raised in pressure in turn to about 50 bar by a first booster C11 and to about 100 bar by a second booster C12.
- a centrifugal compressor is properly used and one capable of carrying out two-stage compression at a compression ratio of 2 will be preferable.
- a water-cooled cooler for temperature maintenance use is provided just after each of the boosters, but it is omitted in the drawings.
- a booster for double purpose as a booster for raising the pressure of a product gas and a booster for generating a pressure difference for gas separation.
- two-stage gas separation will be carried out in accordance with the following steps.
- a gas partially led out of the outlet side line of said second booster C12 is fed to a first gas separation section S1 via a line L1 and separated to a first permeate gas and a first retentate gas by a first gas separation membrane M1 provided in the inside thereof.
- the first retentate gas is fed to a second gas separation section S2 via a line L3 and separated to a second permeate gas and a second retentate gas by a second gas separation membrane M2 provided in the inside thereof.
- the first permeate gas is introduced into the inlet side line of the second booster C12 (midway of the first and second boosters C11 & C12) via a line L,Q and the second permeate gas is introduced into the inlet side line (the feed material feed line) of the first booster C11 via a line L,S so that they are joined with the feed material mixed gas.
- the concentration of the hardly permeable gas in the mixed gas can be decreased, whereby a mixed gas having a desired mole ratio can be obtained.
- the pressure ratio (the feed side/the permeation side) on the feed side and permeation side in the second gas separation membrane M2 is generated by two boosters and the pressure ratio (the feed side/the permeation side) in the first gas separation membrane M1 is generated by one booster, and the pressure ratio of the former becomes therefore larger than that of the latter.
- the gas separation section having the gas separation membrane there is properly used a membrane module, in which an element equipped with a gas separation membrane is incorporated in a pressure container, and which is constructed in such a structure that a flow passage from the feed side to the retention side (the outlet side) and a flow passage on the permeation side are isolated with the gas separation membrane.
- a membrane module in which an element equipped with a gas separation membrane is incorporated in a pressure container, and which is constructed in such a structure that a flow passage from the feed side to the retention side (the outlet side) and a flow passage on the permeation side are isolated with the gas separation membrane.
- module types for use in the gas separation such as a hollow fiber type and a spiral type.
- gas separation membrane there will be used various membranes made of polyamide, polyimide, polyamideimide, polyester, polycarbonate, polysulfone, polyethersulfone, polyetherketone or blends thereof.
- a gas separation membrane there are exemplified a hollow fiber and flat membrane and there can be properly used a membrane having an asymmetric structure.
- these separation membranes there can be used various kinds of membranes available in market.
- the materials of gas separation membranes in the respective stages may be the same or different in kind.
- a gas separation membrane module for hydrogen manufactured by MEDAL Co.
- MEDAL Co. a gas separation membrane module for hydrogen
- An example of concretely carrying out the concentration regulation by use of this membrane module will be described, as compared with conventional methods.
- impurities such as methane, argon and moisture are contained in a practical feed gas, in addition, these components are disregarded for simplification of the discussion, where the concentrations of residual components other than the concentration of hydrogen gas will be dealt with as the concentration of nitrogen gas.
- the membrane area of the first gas separation membrane M1 was made equal to 2 units of the 12 inch type module and the membrane area of the second gas separation membrane M2 was made equal to 4 units of the 12 inch type module, the gas separation was operated at the aforementioned set pressures.
- the data shown in Table 1 was obtained.
- the conventional method 1 was carried out by an apparatus shown in Fig.4 and could be grasped as a special example where the area of the first gas separation membrane was 0 (zero), and hence it was expressed as in Table 1.
- the area of the gas separation membrane became 4.43.
